That saying about life being hard is sometimes true…

I mentioned in the Music Thursday post that I was sorry for my lack of involvement over the last week.  This blog has been a great outlet for me, and I hope to come back in full force soon.  I know there will be ebbs and flows…last week was a tough one for many of [...]

Novel Inbox

I thought this was an curious idea. it’s interesting how literature is trying to employ the tools of modern internet to thrive.  In fact, the first blog I can remember took the shape of posting Samuel Pepys’ diary in daily increments. Anyway, there’s a depthful flurry of information and content out there…I find so little of [...]

Time, Part II

Time is elastic, I heard once. I always believed this thought to have some merit. Recent posts about time and how we spend it got me thinking. Is it truly about how we spend it, or how we experience it? Good times go quickly, bad times seem to move more slowly — that is, if [...]

The Switch is On, Or The Coming of Autumn

There’s something strange that happens to me once or twice a year.  It’s a perceptible switch of preferences.  The switch usually coincides with the onset and subsiding of summer, starting mid-spring and usually lasting until the Indian Summer hits.  Sometimes, I’m surprised as I skip a cycle.  Instead of a six-month turnaround, the phases last a whole year.

I am somewhere that I don’t know where I am. Simpson, H.J.

I must begin as is the ritual now with, “very interesting”.  all the blogs so far are really, truly fascinating.  So difficult to express so much in so few words.  I think the heart of the matter is context.  it is nearly impossible, to dissect our time, analyse it, and make conclusions which really capture [...]

Date Change?

My super will not allow me to be gone on the weekend of October 28.  I may have to work that Saturday. Alternate dates are the weekend of October 21 or November11. What say you?

Time

At long last, here are each of your responses to my questions about how we spend our time… Response from J. E.: Schedule: 5:00 alarm 5:10 out of bed, coffee and cereal 5:25 read, write, whatever 6:00 make sure Liz is up, make eggs and Liz’s tea 6:15 water plants, feed birds, tidy up, collect [...]

No title whatsoever

This is truly fantastic. What a wonderous tool! Ned, was great to see you, even briefly, while you were down. Thanks for stopping through. I have to admit that I am intrigued by your line of questions while at the Stieben’s and feel as though we did not get to finish the conversation. If you [...]
